I know you want a website link and everything but I want to reassure you that dentists in the UK don't think about that. Especially if you're in a private clinic. All they want is to clink around their metal spatulas and what not and earn a few pound. Trust me on this one I've had so much experience with both subjects it's unbelievable. If you have any more concerns..pm me x

is there erosion or spots on your teeth?

also, there may be sores in your mouth

The dentist shouldnt say anything to your mother
They might comment something like 'oh, theres some erosion behing the front teeth'
Mine said that but then he suggested that sugar was the cause... which was stupid because then mum made me eat less and reduce sugar.

Dentists don't comment on it, they may recommend against it but shouldn't comment.

a few months

Throwing up all the time eats away at all the enamel on your teeth. They same effect can be found with excessive drinking of fizzy drinks. Just put it down to that.

english dentists don't know much of anything.
